Tarantula Anyone?

These guys are actually quite tame from South America.  They just sting like a bee when they are upset.  Some people actually eat them.  Tastes like?  Chicken…. Really?

Stretch 757s Are So Long From Front to Back

We got on this 757 that is a jet that has only one aisle and two rows of three seats on each side.  However, as we were sitting towards the back, it was really really stretched out.  Didn’t realize these planes were so long.

It’s Spring 2017 in Tokyo!

The last few years it seems like these blossoms are my “Spring-o-meter”.  On a chilly Tokyo morning, when you see these little guys coming out, you know Spring is not far away.  Have gotten to know the Buddhist priest and his wife that look after this pretty well as it’s in front of a Buddhist building.

Any botanists out there that know what kind of plant this is?

Three Keys To Controlling Your Email Inbox

Email is out of control.  We all get way too much that we don’t need to see.  At AINEO, we’ve introduced Zimbra-based via our QuickerWeb service.  For putting all your communications into an intergrated plaftform we have introduced iPBX Circle here.  Regardless of that, if you get too much email, it’s probably time to unsubscribe, block, ask people to remove you, and do whatever it takes to free up your inbox from inbound messages.  Here are three good questions to ask yourself as you think through what is necessary and what is not.

  • Do I need to receive this email?
  • Do I need to process this email?
  • Do I personally need to answer this email?

Clueless Japanese Banking

Perfect example of clueless banking. You go to deposit money into your bank account.  The ATM tells you you need to pay 108 Yen (about $1 USD)service fee because you’re depositing at 845am and not 9am.

Someone needs to come in and show banks in Japan how to truly be competitive.  This is a joke.  In my bank, I would want people to deposit money so I could loan it to others…

This is a part of the menu mindset that makes Japan non-competitive.  You can read more about that here.

If It Looks Like This, It’s Steroids

Cool? Remember this guy?

As the heart is a muscle it also grows, when you take steriods… drugs.  When someone has arms that look really big, they are probably on drugs that are damaging their bodies.  Not just their heart, but also their intestines and other organs.

Interestingly enough, this guy had to have some heart operations following his drug damage. Any idea how many times?  The rumor is three times from the trainers we konw.

What’s your legacy?

This year the world is seeing a lot of changes. My friend from the gym told me he doesn’t read the news, yet he is a very successful investor. Ignoring the ‘noise’ that changes every day called news, and focusing on what matters for you, your family, and your area is part of leaving a positive legacy.
